Description
A linear motor that enforces the position z(t) between two frames on two bodies, using a rheonomic constraint.
The z(t) position of frame 1 sliding on Z axis of frame 2, is imposed via an exact function of time f(t), and an optional offset: z(t) = f(t) + offset Note: no compliance is allowed, so if the actuator hits an undeformable obstacle it hits a pathological situation and the solver result can be unstable/unpredictable. Think at it as a servo drive with "infinitely stiff" control. This type of motor is very easy to use, stable and efficient, and should be used if the 'infinitely stiff' control assumption is a good approximation of what you simulate (e.g., very good and reactive controllers). By default it is initialized with linear ramp: df/dt= 1. Use SetMotionFunction() to change to other motion functions.
